I just see it as “leaks” but when it comes to “leaks” and “rumors” i have a hard time believing it. It just reminds me of articles for the next fighter for Smash Bros. That it just ends up being clickbait and just asks are they coming we don’t know.

But if true, a spinoff might be fun. Just hope it does a bit better (adventurous and replay value) than Presequel.

All we can do is wait for E3 to drop and be like “this is a thing now”

This has been a big question of mine as well. Maybe it won’t actually matter because it’ll be BNB themed game and prior lore won’t play a major factor into the setting. Im thinking this game could branch of in its own direction with new imaginative characters and a completely far fetched story line but who knows I’m just spitballing ideas here. Personally I would love for the time period of this game to be between the events of the end of Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary DLC and the start of Borderlands 3, essentially making this Borderlands 2.5. Only time will tell.

I know I’ll buy it. Even with he flaws of BL3 (and 1, and 2) I’m always going to buy new content (even a trivially easy “raid boss”) so whatever Tina is serving up my money will be going out.

This seems like a good time to remind people that BL3 was both praised and (apparently) a solid / great seller. The Steam reviews still hold at “Very Positive” (81% recent, 83% overall, ~62,000 reviews), and that’s Steam. The units shifted also suggest the EGS also did well with the game too.

This isn’t to say that the game doesn’t have problems, or that some folks can’t play the game, or that it’s wrong to dislike the direction in which the game has evolved. But these things don’t necessarily translate to the playerbase at large, or the game’s reception on the whole.

I will be buying this, on Steam, when it is the Game of the Year Version.

I expect to buy it in 2-3 years.

Funny how some people are still like “I don’t care what gearbox are making, I’ll preorder and pay full price”.
No wonder games makers seem to think they can release whatever half-formed crud they like and still sell it.
Fully agree about waiting before buying.

It might be hard to believe for some - but plenty of people enjoy BL3. Some even prefer it to BL2 (oh, the horror!).

“BeChaoticGreat” sure sounds like more Bunkers’n’Badasses style TTAoDK content. I wonder if it will connect with the physical version they released at all?

The idea of TTAoDK as a full scale game intrigues me June 10th can’t come soon enough

Oh no, I’m aware that some people enjoy it. I loved it until mayhem 2.0.
It’s not that people might be interested in - and consider paying for - future releases that I was commenting on, but the fact that some people are basically saying they’ll pay full price for something they literally know NOTHING about. We don’t even have a confirmed name, let alone any details on gameplay or content, and people would preorder it right now.
Even if you trust gearbox, I find it odd that someone wouldn’t want to know more first.

Given the huge number of recent releases that have been broken as hell - even to the point of being unplayable - the games industry needs players to demand higher standards, or else those in charge of the money will keep pushing worse and worse games out the door.

God Tiny Tina is the most obnoxious character in all of Borderlands. If she gets a whole entire game around her it’s going to be the absolute worst.

#31

They gave Claptrap a role with abilities. And everyone hates that guy. Tina will be fine.

On serious note, already seeing clickbait articles of “Tina’s Wonderland” and how it can correct BL3 mistakes.

#32

Oof. I know a lot of people have been practically begging for that but if that’s the direction it’s going I’m probably out as far as day 1 purchases go.

Yes, I preordered the physical Bunkers and Badasses game but that’s more because I was interested in playing a tabletop version of Borderlands than making BnB style campaigns.

Genuinely or ironically? I thought it was ironically.

Not a defense against Tina, who I disagree about being obnoxious mind you.

The more I hear about this game, the more optimistic I am? I hope I’ll like it!

It looks like the D&D theme is confirmed, which I’m eeeeh about. But if the skill trees, gameplay, and story are good this time around I’m open to it!

#35

Just thinking, but if they go down the pre-sequel route, we’re looking at a game with the same engine, but 4 (or maybe 6) new characters that are either totally new or existing NPCs. Probably no siren, but some other ideas based on technology that’s almost magic. Plus some new concepts, like lasers, cryo and slam were.
So, Ellie, Moxxi, Fiona, Balex, dr Zed, Pickle, Lorelei, Clay, Veronica and a bunch of others are all possibilities, I guess.
It’d be funny if they make a playable Goliath character, though. :laughing:

Oh man, I hope there’s no siren tbh. It might be good to do away with having a siren every game especially with how relevant they’ve become.

We actually know quite a bit (speaking for myself here) - it’s supposedly another installment in a looter (and most likely shooter) genre set in a Borderlands universe, given that Tiny Tina is there etc.

That is quite enough for many, given our previous exposure to 4 existing Borderlands games.

Now, if it turns out that this is actually a deck-building card game, RTS spinoff, retro platformer, or a racing simulator - I don’t think you’ll hear ‘take my money’ cries. Even if it’s Tales 2 - I’m not itching for that one.

And as far as paying full price on release date vs. waiting out few months to save 20$ - everyone is free to make that trade off. For me the wait is not worth the savings.

If it really is another BnB game a Siren would be possible because she would just be a class inside the (BnB)game, a made up character from Tiny Tina that has no impact on the past or future lore.

Basically just a renamed mage, which would be fitting.
